Good call. Maybe I should not be wondering whether I'll find specific references to past occasions catered and just start getting in touch with people. Rolling pizza oven sounds phenomenal.

Wow. Having checked out the menu, I need to get out and try the Jalopy. Thanks for the tips!

I do find the Korean taco thing compelling. I may have even been to Chilantro once late at night. Good to know that's something they do.

I also need to try Naranjo and look into that - been meaning to explore Rainey Street for a while now.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for the tip! Website says they will bring the truck out to events. I'll have to go try some of their stuff.

Getting married in Austin kind of a long way off in the spring of 2013. Probably 100-ish people at most. Just doing some research and wondering if anyone knows of taco trucks in Austin that will actually pull up to a reception venue and serve tacos from the truck. I've read a few things on the Los Angeles board where people have gotten trucks and paid by the hour and/or the number of people. Heard of anything like that?

I haven't been in Austin that long and haven't done as much taco exploration as I'd like to yet, but I'm into what I believe are called Jalisco style tacos, with flour or (usually) corn tortillas, meat or cactus filling, and onions, cilantro, lime, and salsa. One of my favorite spots is La Canaria at 51st and Airport. I haven't asked them about catering yet, mainly due to a lack of confidence in my Spanish skills.

I've found lots of places (Izzos, Taco Deli among I'm sure many others) that will bring trays of meat and other fillings and fixings for a buffet sort of thing, which would be delicious and not the worst thing in the world, but we think the actual truck would be memorable for us and for guests.

I'm interested in other types of trucks, too, if you happen to have recommendations for any that you know will do events. I've seen the link below, which is interesting, but 1) a lot of the places seem to want to bring trays (see above), and 2) they look like they're not necessarily what I'm looking for (see paragraph 2). The link also doesn't necessarily seem comprehensive in terms of the entire Austin food truck scene.

And finally, I did some searching on the board but was unable to find anything, so please accept my apologies if this has already been covered at length somewhere on the Austin board and I'll thank anyone in advance for a link to said coverage.

Glad to see your comment. I did a spit-take when I saw $6-plus banh-mi on that menu.

Boddingtons, I believe, is nitrogenated, like Guinness. That explains the smooth texture -- nitrogen bubbles are smaller than co2 bubbles. A lot of beer bars will occasionally put beers on nitrogen, particularly stouts and IPAs. I haven't ever seen lagers done that way.

Casks are also smooth, but not because of nitrogen. They are smooth because they are naturally carbonated (and less carbonated than beer that is force-carbonated by co2) by living yeast in the cask.

Greatest smell in the world. If I could teleport to Santa Fe right now, I would.

Their roasted items are solid. The roast pork is pants-peeing good, and with rice, veggies, and iced coffee, it's only 4.75. Same price for roast duck, which is good, too, but not as good as the pork, I feel.
